Well the photographs of the console could match with a slightly faulty

what's scary are the number of sites here in Melbourne (Australia)! At this
stage a LEO would have to be a "possible" but somewhat unlikely choice. I
would have thought that a University would buy a "scientific" rather than a
"commercial" computer.

I've spent quite some time web browsing and
the photos of early Ferranti,
Marconi or ICT (ICL) that I've found don't match my recollections. I'm
still working on the premise that at that time a UK university would have
bought British (and at that time there was probably no good reason not to).
It wasn't a Lyons' LEO, was it? http://www.leo-computers.org.uk/
